"The Polikandia Hotel is an absolute gem.
The property itself is kept in immaculate condition, and there is a genuine dedication to excellence in hospitality in every sense of the word. Gorgeous bougainvilleas surround the pool and create the most gorgeous setting.
Location wise, the hotel is perfectly situated right at the entrance to Chora, with all the lovely taverns, shops and bars. These are all literally steps away.
It is also ideally located for the walk up to the church with the most majestic sunset views (yes, better than anywhere else in the Cyclades and I have been to many!).
The rooms of the hotel are comfortable, clean and well maintained.
I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for an unforgettable stay on the beautiful island of Folegandros."
"Hotel was fabulous, little bungalows off the pool deck.staff was very helpful.Breakfast was satisfactory. Fologandos is such a beautiful island. We loved the location of this hotel. Lots of restaurants with wonderful food."
"Spent a fabulous 9 nights here. Rest and relaxation, gorgeous beaches and great restaurants nearby or in the chora, a 2 euro bus ride away. The hotel is clean, lovely pool, gorgeous attentive staff. Thoroughly recommended"
"The stay was lovely - the room was beautiful and had a lovely courtyard. It’s a stone’s throw away from the town, so easy to get to by foot, maybe 10 minutes. Very easy to get to the bus stop as well, to get to the beaches etc. Lucia at the hotel was amazing - she was very communicative on whatsapp and took care of anything we needed, including a slightly later checkout after our ferry got delayed. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!"
"Feels like they have invested more money into marketing than ensuring the accommodations are actually ready for guests. On a very remote, rugged part of the island and they are still doing construction to expand the property. Felt more like glamping than a five star hotel. If you stay here, you need to be ok with small bugs coming into the room, water potentially coming into the room if conditions are stormy, etc. You're out there with the elements which is great, but coining this as "raw luxury" has the potential to be misleading. Food is great (the breakfast is fantastic), but 2-3x the price of local restaurants. The resort is remote and we started to feel a bit guilty eating meals there rather than supporting local businesses. When we had issues come up the customer service response was very helpful - you can tell they are really trying to make this resort work. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the cleaning staff as they would only make the bed - no replacing cups in the minibar or taking our trash out. You should wait a year or two while they work out the kinks of being a new hotel. Don't let yourself get too swayed by Condé Nast lists and their strong PR coverage. "
